Claire writes: “We all have blindspots.  Last week, Ruth texted me this picture. Instantly I recognised a blindspot and connected the insights I have about our work being like the stoker on the back of a bike with the learning we share about moving forward.  I had never made the connection that bicycles can’t easily go backwards! That connection has changed my teaching from this week onwards.

There many ways Ruth could have communicated what she had seen:

• “I think you (or we) we are missing the connection between the bike and moving forward”
• “You/we ought to think about the fact that the bike doesn’t go backwards”

or any other form of words that made the meaning for me.  

Leaving me to make my own meaning was the most powerful thing she could do.”
